About this book

Letters home and diary entries bring the waiting weeks before the Third Battle of Ypres into close view. Thomas Hope Floyd recounts his service with the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1917, beginning with his departure from England as a newly commissioned officer. His memoir gives particular attention to Colonel Best-Dunkley, whose demanding manner made a strong impression on the men around him. Floyd presents the experiences and opinions of someone serving under that command.

At Bilge Trench, broken sleep, cups of tea and conversations about military history share space with bombardments and aircraft overhead. A night patrol takes Floyd past hedges and ruined cottages, where every patch of shadow calls for caution. These small observations give readers interested in the First World War a record of daily work, fatigue and uncertainty. The personal voice preserves how events felt while the battalion was preparing for the coming battle.
